	Peter Debye Biography \| World of Scientific Discovery
		Peter Debye is perhaps best known for his contribution to the theory of electrolytic dissociation, the Debye-Hückel theory, announced in 1923.
		Petrus Josephus Wilhelmus Debije, was born on March 28, 1884 in Maastrict, the Netherlands to and Joannes Wilhelmus Debije, a foreman at a metalware manufacturer, and the former Maria Anna Barbara Ruemkens.
		During his year there, Debye studied the dipole moment of molecules, that is, its tendency to rotate in an external magnetic field, a property that is a function of the distribution of electric charge in (the polarity of) the molecule.

		This was followed by moves to Utrecht in 1912 Göttingen in 1913 back to Zürich in 1920 to Leipzig in 1927 and to Berlin in 1934 where he became director of the Wilhelm Institute saw to the construction of laboratories and developed it into the now-world-regarded Max Planck Institute in 1938.

		This was followed by moves to Utrecht in 1912, Göttingen in 1913, back to Zürich in 1920, to Leipzig in 1927, and to Berlin in 1934, where he became director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, saw to the construction of new laboratories, and developed it into the now-world-regarded Max Planck Institute in 1938.
		Debye did not want to do so, and since he had been offered a chance to give a series of lectures at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, traveled to the United States of America.
		In plasma physics, the phenomenon of Debye shielding, where a plasma shields out an electro-static field, and the Debye length, the characteristic extent of this shielding, are named after him.

		Debye shielding - In plasma physics, the process by which a plasma "shields" an electric charge by redistributing charged particles of the plasma around it.
		Debye relaxation - The dielectric relaxation response of an ideal, noninteracting population of dipoles to an alternating external electric field.

		Debye's formula includes the polarizability of the molecule, its permanent electric moment, the dielectric constant, and the energy of thermal agitation.
		"Debye's original theory is still used today to determine dipole moments of molecules dissolved in nonpolar solvents by measuring the dielectric constant of the solution," says John F. Kauffman, a chemistry professor at the University of Missouri, Columbia.
		Debye's theory predicted a "ferroelectric Curie point," a temperature below which the molecule would be in a stable state of permanent electric polarization, much like the permanent magnetic polarization of iron.

		Peter Debye was born in 1884 in Maastricht, the Netherlands.
		He received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1936, when he was working in the University of Berlin and Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics, Berlin-Dahlem for his contributions to the knowledge of molecular structure through his investigations on dipole moments and on the diffraction of X-rays and electrons in gases.
		At this time Professor Debye became director of the Department for Mathematical Physics of the Physics Institute of the University of Göttingen till 1921.

		Given the close relationship that Debye had with our Department, and his extraordinary contributions to the science of chemistry, we felt that it was our duty and responsibility to investigate and respond to this situation.
		In addition, Debye’s work on polymers used in dielectrics for radar and on synthetic rubber, which was key in the U.S. war effort, and which he undertook very soon after entering this country, is well documented.
		While Debye was late to leave Germany, he nevertheless, did leave causing considerable difficulties for his family and once in the U.S., he made significant contributions to the war effort.

		Utrecht University, where Debye was a professor of theoretical physics in 1912, said it decided to change the name of the university's Debye Institute for physics and chemistry after learning of Debye's actions against German Jews.
		The University of Maastricht, in the town where Debye was born in 1884, said it has severed ties to an international prize named for Debye, which is awarded by an independent foundation for original research in chemistry or physics.
		Debye moved to the United States in 1940 and died in 1966.

		Cornell’s Department of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry just finsihed its investigation of Peter Debye and concluded, based on all the evidence it had accumulated, that Debye clearly was not a Nazi sympathizer, was not a Nazi collaborator and was not an anti-Semite.
		Peter Debye insisted that the new Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics be named in honor of the anti-Nazi, Max Planck and inscribed the name at the building entrance.
		In any case, Peter Debye was, in my opinion, the greatest physical chemist of the 20th century, as opposed to yet another organic synthetic methods pot boiler.

	Chemical & Engineering News: Latest News - Nobel Laureate Is Accused Of Nazi Collaboration
		Documentary evidence that chemistry Nobel Laureate Peter J. Debye may have been a Nazi collaborator in Berlin in the 1930s has led a university in the Netherlands to remove his name from its Debye Institute of Physics and Chemistry of Nanomaterials and Interfaces.
		Evidence in the book, he says, includes a letter that Debye signed in 1938 in which he orders, in the name of the German authorities, Jewish coworkers of the German Physical Society in Berlin to leave the organization.
		Debye, who died in 1966, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1936 for his contributions to the study of molecular structure, primarily his work on dipole moments and X-ray diffraction.

		In 1908, Peter Debye solved the problem of electromagnetic scattering from a cylinder and his method can also be adapted to scattering from a sphere.
		The Debye series is equivalent to the Mie series, but the Debye series has the great advantage that it can be used to isolate the contributions made by rays of order p - as shown in Fig.
		The primary and secondary rainbows due to the p = 2 and p = 3 contributions respectively are clearly separated for r = 100 µm, whereas they overlap for r = 10 µm.

	Conventional Fusion FAQ Glossary Part 4/26 (D)
		Debye, Peter Joseph: Physical chemist, studied behavior of conductive solutions (plasmas have some similar behaviors).
		Its characteristic thickness is the Debye length, and it is caused by Debye shielding of the negative surface charge resulting from electrons flowing to the surface much faster (initially) than the ions.
		The net result is an additional negative (positive) charge density which cancels the effect of the initial charge at distances large compared to the Debye length.

		Koks said not everyone agreed Debye should be disgraced without more definite information, and historians needed to do more research on the scientist's background.
		Nazi Germany invited Debye to return in 1941 but he remained at Cornell University in New York and became a U.S. citizen in 1946.

		Similarly the molecules are subject to forces which tend to bring the particles nearer together and thus bring them into as strong a field as possible.
